Corrections

January 26, 2007

Due to a reporting error, a story in Thursday's Faith section on the closing of St. Mary of the Assumption Church, South Bend, incorrectly listed the name of parishioner Ray Smith. In a story in Monday's Tribune about prison deaths, The Associated Press erroneously reported that a government study said state prison inmates are living longer on average than people on the outside. The Justice Department study compared mortality rates among prison inmates and the general population, but not life spans for each group. It said prison inmates ages 15-64 have a lower death rate than people in the same age group living outside prisons. Because of an editing error in Thursday's Tribune, a story about U.S. Rep. Joe Donnelly's response to the Iraq troop surge plan incorrectly identified him as a senator. Because of a reporter's error, a story on Page C1 of Thursday's Tribune incorrectly stated that Wisconsin won its first NCAA hockey championship in 2006. It was supposed to read that Wisconsin won its first championship since 1990 that year. It was the Badgers' sixth title overall. The Tribune regrets the errors.
